--- Quote from: Level42 on May 05, 2006, 05:39:09 pm ---One question: Everything that is suggested works great, except when I escape mamewah, explorer doesn't start. I've tried entering the full path in mamewah.ini, but didn't help. --- End quote --- Funny you should say that, I've been having problems with this too.. I'll update the FAQ if I get to the bottom of it. Maybe MiniWah has the answer ? --- Quote from: Level42 on May 05, 2006, 05:39:09 pm --- I briefly see a "loading personal settings" window when starting up, and the mouse cursor. Anything we can do about that ? --- End quote --- You shouldn't see the "loading personal settings" message if you've deactivated them as per step 3 |

Getting rid of the "Loading settings" screens i) Start Menu -> Run and enter regedit ii) Navigate to entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>Windows>CurrentVersion>Policies>System iii) If there is an entry for "DisableStatusMessages" set it to 0 (the digit zero) If there is no entry, right-mouse click the "System" word, and select New->DWORD value, and enter "DisableStatusMessages", right-mouse to edit the value of it, and enter 0 (the digit zero). --- End quote --- I've never seen this message, which probably explains why it wasn't already in the wiki. Does this only happen on slower machines? Or maybe on machines with more than one user defined? Joseph Elwell. |

I think it's on machines with multiple users defined. |

Joseph Elwell. --- End quote --- I've never seen it on my PC at home (and I've not done the tweak suggested to suppress it), but I always see it on my PC at work. Might have something to with either multiple users as exiges suggested, or being a member of a domain instead of a workgroup, or just having to log in vs. not log in. In Windows XP, if you define only a single user and do not give that user a password, XP will automatically auto-log-in as that user. At work, we're forced to log in all the time. |
